PROJECT: PAGOA

• Contents: The objective was to create an information system that facilitates the acquisition and distribution of information related to the value chain in companies.
  
• Partners: Codesyntax,  Kondia and Robotiker

The PAGOA project represents a key commitment to innovation in the IMH. Under this project, a computer application has been developed to put to potential use the combined strengths offered by the so-called web 2.0 and the semantic web for management of internal information of companies and between companies. This is carried out by means of the implementations below:

• Tagged information management for easier classification and access.

• An ontology of the machine tool sector which together with the semantic search engine becomes useful when free tagging is not the most suitable option. Bear in mind that certain information can only be classified in an univocal and unequivocal way, and the use of only tagging may jeopardise this goal.

• A user-friendly interface to boost the use of this application.

• At the same time, the interface must be open to personal settings to use tags and metadata according to user and information requirements.

The use of PAGOA can be considered from two viewpoints:

• A tool which can be freely accessed via the internet by anyone. Access will be limited to topics of general interest for the sector (articles, publications, good practices, free courses, reports from the sector amongst others).

• A customised tool for machine tool companies for private use adapted to the information sources of the company itself (skills development, quality procedures, process manuals, documentation of the Engineer’s Office amongst others).

Alongside the IMH, PAGOA has been co-developed by Kondia and Codesyntax and Robotiker technological centre.

This important commitment to innovation of the IMH has been co-funded by the Department for Community Projects of the Kutxa Savings Bank.
